Prime location at the end of a cul-de-sac in San Marin East, a small enclave that offers the natural beauty of San Marin with a shorter drive to downtown and Highway 101. Hike and explore the hills from your backyard! This updated 3BD/2.5BA split-level home sits on a spacious quarter-acre lot backing to open space. Recent upgrades include white oak hardwood floors and dual pane windows. The vaulted ceilings in the living and dining rooms create an airy feeling. The kitchen has an ideal layout with a center island and a breakfast area. Most appliances are newer including a KitchenAid oven/microwave combo and French door refrigerator. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms including the primary suite with double closets and a hillside view with privacy. The primary bathroom features a soaking tub, 2 sinks plus a makeup vanity. Just in time for summer, the renovated backyard gained more usable space and has a new retaining wall, lawn and paver stone patio next to a ground level deck. The upgraded side yard has new fences and is perfect for storing a boat or vehicle. The 2-car garage offers loft storage, finished walls, epoxy floors and upgraded lighting (owners used it as gym and additional office space). Close to Trader Joe's, Starbucks and SMART train. Feeds to popular San Ramon Elementary.
